*For anyone wondering about how I decided on the Leedsichthys sound:* I made the creative decision that Leedy here would vibrate his swim bladder and generate a gentle, low frequency hum like the modern Porichthys notatus, which are surprisingly loud little guys. Upscaling that concept resulted in a low frequency drone that would likely travel some 15-30 miles underwater.
@@wanderlustoceans8205 to be fair we need a more complete skeletal frame to do it, we would have to figure out the corporal build, and guess how the internal body structures aid in its acoustics, hence the fragmentary remains of Maip and the relatively new discovery of it is not really too viable for this
Its actually a really hard job to do, considering that every animal has an almost infinite variety of sounds. For example, cats can both purr, meow and hiss at the same time
If anyone doesn't think Leedsichthys could be terrifying and probably murder animals nearby from shock alone, imagine this: The modern sperm whale has a specific call that humans close by cannot survive from due to it being so vibrational that your brain gets mashed up from rattling in the cavity so much and you are a corpse not long after from your heart and everything. You will get vibe checked if you don't keep your distance from it from that call, I can't remember which one it is but there is one similar to the one Leedsichthys was making that causes that.
Modulating modern, similar reptiles and sometimes throwing some creative flavor in there. I use as much science as possible to make these determinations but it's still just hypothetical.
Basilosaurus is absolute nightmare fuel; I'd imagine it sounds like what a sea-dwelling dragon would sound like. As always you did a beautiful job of making these all sound so haunting and realistic!
@@marcgarrigosmane166 Orca are the largest dolphins. And basilosaurus was a very early whale with a very different body plan than modern cetaceans. I'd be surprised if it sounded like an orca, a baleen whale, etc. 🙂
@@BinroWasRight Humpback whales and killer whales sound more similar to each other than this thing does. All whales (dolphins are whales) squeal. They produce sounds with their blowhole. Since Basilosaurus lived around the same time that toothed and baleen whales split, there's no reason it should sound like anything other than a large modern whale.
@@Aethuvielno that’s extremely unlikely. Basilosaurus was wildly different from an orca. Orcas are dolphins. No living cetacean is similar to basilosaurus. Basilosaurus was originally mistaken for a reptile not because early palaeontologists were stupid, but because it’s skull and bodily plan are distinct from known cetaceans. modern cetaceans may have comparable vocalisations, but we can’t necessarily extrapolate that to such an ancient species. Basilosauridae was the first group of fully aquatic cetaceans that we are aware of. Basilosaurus did not use echolocation. It did NOT have a blowhole as you have asserted. It had two nostrils at the end of it’s snout. Basilosaurus was more like land mammals that its modern counterparts.
@@witchflowers6942 Interesting how the body plans of Basilosaurus and the surviving Cetaceans seem to refect those of Mosasaurs and Ichthyosaurs. Makes me wonder what the oceans would be like if Basilosaurus had survived and diversified.
With the exception of the prehistoric cetaceans, it’s completely possible that most of this giant sea life didn’t make any noise at all in the water, which makes them even more terrifying. Imagine one of those giant sea reptiles just snatching you with no warning whatsoever only the splash of it’s breach and descent as your dragged into darkness
Like I said to someone else a moment or so ago, it's likely that most of these reptiles-based ones were fairly quiet, but I focus on trying to capture their ambient noise: air chamber and pressure shifts... that sorta thing. Still, this is just an estimation of what they would sound like IF they made sound. With that said, the Colossus and Livyatan are likely very accurate considering they are mammals and I can fairly accurately arrange what they would sound like since they have very modern descendants.
I still know that the reptiles would pronbably produce some booming guttural sounds that can emenate through the water, akin to alligators and crocodiles bellowing, for either territory disputes or mating.
Could this work of yours be used as a tool for cryptozoologists to investigate unidentified underwater (animal) sounds and compare them to your samples so as to try to at least approximately assess suspected cryptids?
Liopleurodon Ferox is so incredibly playful compared to Pliosaurus Funkei and Kronosaurus Queenslandicus, who sound like something straight out of an underwater horror! Fantastic work, can't wait to hear more of your work!! :]]
Get outta here! :D No arguments on Krono. She (I've decided the visual aid example looks like a she) sent shivers down my spine. I feel like you've got Pilo and Lio Ferox mixed up. One was clicking its way towards you, imagine seeing nothing but dark blue all around you and this demented parrot-like sea creature comes out of its woodwork making those psychotic noises... :O Amazing how subjective it all is.
Killer whales sound cute and playful. Squeaks, chirps, etc. What they do to their prey isn't cute. If lio's were also pack hunters, this sound would mean a nasty death.
The Leedsichthys Problematicus has got to be one of if not the most terrifying, bone chilling, cold, deep, frightening sounds I have ever heard. Amazing work as usual
@@SidVacant69 ahem..sorry to bother you but Liopleurodon was a powerful predator, which targeted any other animal; sharks, other plesiosaurs, giant fish, and even coastal dinosaurs. However, it was a specialised shark killer. Liopleurodon was generally an ambush predator, which would often lie in wait for sharks to pass by (sorry but im a paleo nerd i have alot of informations in my head)
Gotta give it to the Basilosaurus and the Livyatan for favorite sounds (honorable mentions being Cymbospondylus and Liopleurodon). But Basilosaurus really sounds like a primitive whale. Doesn't exactly sound like a blue or humpback yet it feels similar, and then you got the Livytan which lowkey sounds like a Sperm Whale on steroids. That's terrifying.
The real sounds that extinct animals may have made is so rarely considered. It's good to see someone put time and thought into it. I hope your work inspires others to think differently.
@@JohnnyTyrant We're in a golden age in terms of extremely specific niche genre playlists, but in a bit of a rough patch as far as stuff that makes me say "hey this is actually something new & different" goes
Has there ever been any similar research done on the vocalizations of extinct hominids? I wonder if they would sound more like us, more like our closest living relatives, or somewhere in between. Can you imagine how cool it would sound if one of these species of people had some form of rudimentary language but vocalizations more in line with great apes?
That's actually so advanced that I wouldn't touch it personally. There is probably ways to actually rebuild their soft tissue organs with the right team and specimens. In fact, that sort of thing has been done before in small doses, so I wouldn't waste my time on it since something very similar and more accurate will likely come about in time.
That sounds fascinating, actually. Considering that most hominids lived for far longer than humans have been around, I can hardly imagine how many early languages could have come and gone.
Probably deeper-sounding chimp noises, until you get to Neanderthals, who they probably spoke like us, but with higher-pitched voices and weird languages we can only speculate at.
The hunter gatherer cavemen did not have a language but communicated in grunts as growls. They did not need complicated languages since all they really did was hunt gather eat and repeat.
These are so eerie and outlandish... Even more so than creatures from Subnautica, which actually takes place on a different planet. I love it! Also, a little human for comparison, yaaay, finally ❤
honestly yeah I wish stalkers, bonesharks, and sandsharks had more creative sounds. They roar in a way that reminds me of land dwelling earth creatures and it kinda gets annoying. I love the crabsquid and sea dragon sounds though
What if you’d take living animals, and try to recreate their sounds in the same way that you recreate these sounds. Then we’d be able to see how accurate this method is, which would give us a good picture on how accurate these sounds are!
YOU are the first person to say something like this. I DO do that already and this is how I figured out how I could learn Julia Clarke's method. You have a good mind.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO HAD THOUGHT THAT. I was imagining and I said to myself, Why not have a group of paleontologists and scientists estimate the real appearance of some actual animal of which they have no knowledge only with their bones and fossil record (if they have it) with the same methods just to see the degree of effectiveness they would have ? (This would be very difficult since these scientists would have too much knowledge about actual animals). But your idea is way much better and unlike mine, scientists are more likely to be unaware of many actual animal noises than their appearance.
The method you used is a very logical step to giving us an idea for what these creatures sound like. Each one is pretty haunting and unique in their own right. And it brings us to this one simple conclusion: the prehistoric seas were truly a horrifying place to be. Excellent work. Keep them coming at your own convenience!
I'd pay money to have a huge soundboard of calls and chatters of the animals you do. Complete with a whole host of call a modern animal would make. It would be glorious!
¿Did I completely stop what I was doing to hear more animal sounds? Absolutely ¿Did I love the video? Absolutely ¿Will I learn how to do stuff like this? Absolutely not (lmao, one day maybe) I love the passion you put into this project, I would've expected most sea creatures to sound the same and oh how I was mistaken. ¡I'm loving every second of it!
The mosa is terrifying, it almost sounds like its speaking, but i can tell it isn't. I never expected these roaring esque sounds from a basilo considering they are usually depicted as ancient orcas. But then again i don't know much about the vocalizations of orcas. Very cool.
These sounds are absolutely fantastic! I just love the Leedsicthys. Perucetus sounds so eerie yet majestic. Basilosaurus just sounds so haunting and beautiful. Livyatan sounds so amazing.
It's interesting that despite none of these being the deep roars you'd hear people give to fictional sea monsters, many of these are, in a way, more haunting/unnerving. Like Cymbospondylus', it's these high pitch trills, yet if I were in the ocean and heard that sound in the open ocean, knowing that it's connected to something that huge, and with the echo, I think I'd be freaking out. Also, I honestly take for granted how ancient seas were likely filled with noises, many unfamiliar to me. So, I love this video in particular.
These are amazing! My favorites are Liopleurodon, Kronosaurus, Basilosaurus, and Mosasaurus. Haunting yet beautiful, makes me even more curious about what theses guys were like when they were alive! Amazing work!
This goes for all of your vocalization studies, that echo really makes them all beautifully haunting. They're awesome. I hope you'll do a video for pterosaurs one day. My favorite out of all of these so far has to be the Quetzalcoatlus, second might be the Liopleurodon.
I really like the Perucetus noises! They're haunting and subtle. The Basilosaurus is really fright-inducing too. That Livyatan noise would make even me panic if I heard that in the dark.
Yo. Imagine if you just were at night underwater and you heard the leedsichthys sounds in the distance. You turn your underwater light source to the direction of the calls and a massive leedsichthys is almost standing still right in front of you with it's mouth wide open. Even though they are harmless it would still be a terrifying sequence
I suggest you should do Extinct Flying Species Vocalization. I would like to see the other pterosaur sounds get produced! Or maybe another Jurassic one! Other than that, those are great sounds, very creepy! That Leedsichthys sound is incredibly deep and ominous, and imagine someone heard this while they were in the Jurassic waters, and they didn't know if something big was heading towards them.
Leedsichthys legit vibrated the lower half of my entire body. I can't explain or describe it but it just felt.... Felt like it vibrated everything from my feet up to my hips. I have no idea why.
That’s probably accurate to how these vocalizations actually worked. Like with a lot of marine mammals, most complex vocalizations are on a frequency we wouldn’t be able to hear but we could feel, especially underwater where sound waves travel further. Most of these creatures would have vocalizations you would feel rather than hear.
This is great work! I’m particularly curious as to how the siren-like calls from the Liopleurodon were created. They remind me of something which I couldn’t put my finger on until I realized it was a sound which one of the sea monsters from Star Wars the Phantom Menace (the Colo Claw Fish) makes whet it gets caught in the larger one’s (Sando Aqua Monster I think) mouth.
You need to make more of the “what it sounded like millions of years ago” please. They help me study and focus a lot for class or any other activities I am doing. Great work! Love this channels content!
Leedsichthys Problematicus? he was probably known for getting cancelled on prehistoriic twitter 😆 anyways thanks for the underwater exclusive showcase because those were always some of my favorites. Now I'm gonna share this with my friends and give them all thalassophobia
Amazing work. It fascinates me how much effort must be put into these studies, truly magnificent. Also, the Perucetus colossus was a fine addition, since it has been discovered a short time ago.
It's interesting how in today's oceans, it's dominated by mammals. I wonder why crocodiles, lizards, and other reptiles didn't take advantage of the ocean after the K-T Extinction.
They did, they were simply outplayed by mammals and sharks most likely. There's a few other reasons, but that's the gist of it. There were 60+ million years that took its toll following the extinction of the dinosaurs, so they simply couldn't survive forever...
In den heutigen Ozeanen dominieren fische und kopffüsser haben die meisten arten. In ferner Zukunft kann aber auch eine Eidechsen ins Meer zurückkehren und ein walänliches Tier werden.
Nothing quite starts the day like having a vocalisation study by Studio pop up in my feed. I love these tremendously, and I wish we could've heard how the Dunkleosteus might've sounded, but what with how little remains of the big fella I don't think it's possible
Incredible work 👏 you put a lot of dedication into your videos. I was very happy to see that you included Perucetus 🇵🇪 It was undoubtedly a very important discovery for paleontology. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
I find a lot of these sounds to be very soothing for some reason. It's like you made Whale Song music but for metal-heads, hearing the animals go BWWWOOOOOOPMGHHHHHH, just really eases my soul for some ungodly reason.
Since Sperm Whales are the loudest animals, Livyatan would shatter not just your nervous system but your entire skeletal system. This animal would've sent you to oblivion if he felt like it
They're nearly identical in size, the Livyatan actually being thought to be somewhat smaller. So, no. Moreover, a creature shattering bones with sound is absolutely laughably ridiculous.
And once again, you have delivered an amazing video! We have heard some of these fellows before [but I dig the new artwork for them!], so I'll just comment on the newbies: -What a creative way to give leedsichthys a voice! I would never have thought a swim bladder could be used like that! If they sounded like that in ARK, at least you'd have some WARNING before they came and ruined your boats. XD -The pliosaurus makes me think of a large seal or walrus, which is.... FUNKEI ;) But serious, great job! -Perucetus is just... WOW. I can imagine those sounds vibrating your organs into jelly! The singing is nice, but also creepy! -Basilosaurus is AMAZING. Makes me think of a marine dragon! The song is so threatening, and that 'roar' at the end is absolute NOPE! -Melvillei is also so cool! Of course, I'm reminded of sperm whale recordings, but it is so perfect! Again, wonderful job! :D It makes me week when you upload! I'm always excited to see what share!
Imagine somehow you went back in time and you are in a submarine, and you hear this (3:41) and you ask your friend "What the fuck made that noise?!" And he just stares at you and says "thats a predator x getting a little to grumpy." If i haven't already pussied out i would do it now.
I dont think Leedsichthys Pronblematicus have a sound much like a Basking Shark (Those wide open mouth shark that is the size of a speed boat) and i think Leedsichthys are filter feeders, i could be wrong but hey! It's just a game theo-
I have always wondered, will fish, molluscs, other cartilaginous animals, bivalves and crustaceans produce some kind of vocalisation noise? 🤔 maybe something more than frequency, if the answer is "yes"
I am unsure wether these sounds would be accurate because some of them almost sound mechanic, still a very interesting study and phenomenal work. Some of them sound like samples from some Industrial/Dark Ambient record. I love it.
Mosasaurs H sounds very subnautica-esque. This is the first video I’ve seen by this channel. When I started the video I felt the audio sounded rather fake, but once I remembered how bizarre the precious few recordings of real fish vocalizations I’d heard were it became a lot easier to suspend my disbelief. Very cool audio, and the paleoart ain’t half bad either.
I hope you'll make studies on other extinct marine animals. I think theses animals are forgotten by a lot of people but I think they are the most interesting and mesmerising ones
Somehow, I just love listen to the Mosasaurus. It just sounds so alien but at the same time so damn calm & mysterious - I just can't describe it but it's just so nice to listen to.
*For anyone wondering about how I decided on the Leedsichthys sound:* I made the creative decision that Leedy here would vibrate his swim bladder and generate a gentle, low frequency hum like the modern Porichthys notatus, which are surprisingly loud little guys. Upscaling that concept resulted in a low frequency drone that would likely travel some 15-30 miles underwater.

This goes for all of your vocalization studies, that echo really makes them all beautifully haunting. They're awesome. I hope you'll do a video for pterosaurs one day. My favorite out of all of these so far has to be the Quetzalcoatlus, second might be the Liopleurodon.
I have a fear of the ocean and it’s inhabitants.. this is so haunting. Great work as always
SAME
Same here, I'm super fascinated by it but also would hate to be in it. A prehistoric ocean would be 10 times more terrifying too.
I really like the Perucetus noises! They're haunting and subtle. The Basilosaurus is really fright-inducing too. That Livyatan noise would make even me panic if I heard that in the dark.
Edit:
Hearing Leedsichthys especially underwater would have been eerie especially at night time.
Mosasaurus and Basilosaurus sound terrifying too.
Yo. Imagine if you just were at night underwater and you heard the leedsichthys sounds in the distance. You turn your underwater light source to the direction of the calls and a massive leedsichthys is almost standing still right in front of you with it's mouth wide open. Even though they are harmless it would still be a terrifying sequence
imagine diving in the sea and hearing 7:20 behind you, it's not only watching you, it's LAUGHIING
I have always liked sea creatures even though I am afraid of them... And the sea itself too.
the Mosasaurus Hoffmannii sounds like a portal to another realm, I swear
I suggest you should do Extinct Flying Species Vocalization. I would like to see the other pterosaur sounds get produced!
Or maybe another Jurassic one!
Other than that, those are great sounds, very creepy!
That Leedsichthys sound is incredibly deep and ominous, and imagine someone heard this while they were in the Jurassic waters, and they didn't know if something big was heading towards them.
Livyatan made my stomach sink-
Sitting in a dim room with headphones in may not have been the best idea
1:14 what did bro do to get the name *problematicus* 😭😭
Cause it looks problematic! Looks like he is about to swallow the diver
He uses the n word
Leedsichthys legit vibrated the lower half of my entire body. I can't explain or describe it but it just felt.... Felt like it vibrated everything from my feet up to my hips. I have no idea why.
That’s probably accurate to how these vocalizations actually worked. Like with a lot of marine mammals, most complex vocalizations are on a frequency we wouldn’t be able to hear but we could feel, especially underwater where sound waves travel further. Most of these creatures would have vocalizations you would feel rather than hear.
Problematicus 💀
He will take this outside. He finishes what he starts. He's not well adjusted, he's rambunctious, he's *problematicus!*
Leedsichthys Problematicus
Most unfortunate scientific name ever. 😂
This is great work!
I’m particularly curious as to how the siren-like calls from the Liopleurodon were created.
They remind me of something which I couldn’t put my finger on until I realized it was a sound which one of the sea monsters from Star Wars the Phantom Menace (the Colo Claw Fish) makes whet it gets caught in the larger one’s (Sando Aqua Monster I think) mouth.
You need to make more of the “what it sounded like millions of years ago” please. They help me study and focus a lot for class or any other activities I am doing. Great work! Love this channels content!
I have a precambian series I've been working on. I'll start uploading them soon.
WHOOOO
8:26 you'll find the water is suddenly warm, that's my bad
Leedsichthys Problematicus? he was probably known for getting cancelled on prehistoriic twitter 😆 anyways thanks for the underwater exclusive showcase because those were always some of my favorites. Now I'm gonna share this with my friends and give them all thalassophobia
Every other creature: sounds like some eldritch horror monster
liopleurodon: WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO :DDD !!!
He sounds like he enjoys himself a good time.
Amazing work. It fascinates me how much effort must be put into these studies, truly magnificent. Also, the Perucetus colossus was a fine addition, since it has been discovered a short time ago.
It's interesting how in today's oceans, it's dominated by mammals. I wonder why crocodiles, lizards, and other reptiles didn't take advantage of the ocean after the K-T Extinction.
They did, they were simply outplayed by mammals and sharks most likely. There's a few other reasons, but that's the gist of it. There were 60+ million years that took its toll following the extinction of the dinosaurs, so they simply couldn't survive forever...
In den heutigen Ozeanen dominieren fische und kopffüsser haben die meisten arten. In ferner Zukunft kann aber auch eine Eidechsen ins Meer zurückkehren und ein walänliches Tier werden.
Nothing quite starts the day like having a vocalisation study by Studio pop up in my feed. I love these tremendously, and I wish we could've heard how the Dunkleosteus might've sounded, but what with how little remains of the big fella I don't think it's possible
Livyatan's voice from the beginning resembles a heartbeat and continues to resemble the sound of a boat engine
Incredible work 👏 you put a lot of dedication into your videos.
I was very happy to see that you included Perucetus 🇵🇪 It was undoubtedly a very important discovery for paleontology.
Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷
9:34 Mr. Melville must be so proud to have a leviathan named in his honor
In my opinion, It's honestly a shame the Leedsichthys died off. They must've been some of the most beautiful marine animals to exist.
WATER
I NEEEEEEEEEED IT
@@StudioMod No Spongebob, no, no, STOP!!! PINKY!!! PINKY!!
8:39 I hear a very faint Godzilla 1954 roar
Same
I'd be really interested to know how you decided and made the sounds of these like did with leedsichthys in another comment. They're really cool!
Basilosaurus would be a great death metal vocalist.
I find a lot of these sounds to be very soothing for some reason. It's like you made Whale Song music but for metal-heads, hearing the animals go BWWWOOOOOOPMGHHHHHH, just really eases my soul for some ungodly reason.
Next video you should do vocalizations of prehistoric hominids 😬
5:32 Hewo
😂
Since Sperm Whales are the loudest animals, Livyatan would shatter not just your nervous system but your entire skeletal system. This animal would've sent you to oblivion if he felt like it
They're nearly identical in size, the Livyatan actually being thought to be somewhat smaller. So, no. Moreover, a creature shattering bones with sound is absolutely laughably ridiculous.
@@StudioMod True but I'm just Exaggerating for Fun
Imagine being called “problematicus” 💀
Scientific diss.
OK, all three whales heard here just might give me actual nightmares. Jesus Christ. Could you imagine hearing *those* in deep, murky water?
And once again, you have delivered an amazing video!
We have heard some of these fellows before [but I dig the new artwork for them!], so I'll just comment on the newbies:
-What a creative way to give leedsichthys a voice! I would never have thought a swim bladder could be used like that! If they sounded like that in ARK, at least you'd have some WARNING before they came and ruined your boats. XD
-The pliosaurus makes me think of a large seal or walrus, which is.... FUNKEI ;) But serious, great job!
-Perucetus is just... WOW. I can imagine those sounds vibrating your organs into jelly! The singing is nice, but also creepy!
-Basilosaurus is AMAZING. Makes me think of a marine dragon! The song is so threatening, and that 'roar' at the end is absolute NOPE!
-Melvillei is also so cool! Of course, I'm reminded of sperm whale recordings, but it is so perfect!
Again, wonderful job! :D It makes me week when you upload! I'm always excited to see what share!
1:33 I don’t know much about palaeontology, but that name is rather interesting. What made Leedsichthys so Problematicus?
It was really hard to identify the animal
OBERON?
2:40 👮👮♀️👨🚒👩🚒🚒🚓🚑 🚨🚨🚨
The noises these creatures are quite haunting and interesting
Imagine somehow you went back in time and you are in a submarine, and you hear this (3:41) and you ask your friend "What the fuck made that noise?!" And he just stares at you and says "thats a predator x getting a little to grumpy." If i haven't already pussied out i would do it now.
I dont think Leedsichthys Pronblematicus have a sound much like a Basking Shark (Those wide open mouth shark that is the size of a speed boat) and i think Leedsichthys are filter feeders, i could be wrong but hey! It's just a game theo-
Mosasaurus sounds like that one RPG game character that dosent use TTS but random sounds for voice
I have always wondered, will fish, molluscs, other cartilaginous animals, bivalves and crustaceans produce some kind of vocalisation noise? 🤔
maybe something more than frequency, if the answer is "yes"
I am unsure wether these sounds would be accurate because some of them almost sound mechanic, still a very interesting study and phenomenal work. Some of them sound like samples from some Industrial/Dark Ambient record. I love it.
6:42 that dolphin ate too much olive garden?
Mosasaurs H sounds very subnautica-esque. This is the first video I’ve seen by this channel. When I started the video I felt the audio sounded rather fake, but once I remembered how bizarre the precious few recordings of real fish vocalizations I’d heard were it became a lot easier to suspend my disbelief. Very cool audio, and the paleoart ain’t half bad either.
I hope you'll make studies on other extinct marine animals. I think theses animals are forgotten by a lot of people but I think they are the most interesting and mesmerising ones
Somehow, I just love listen to the Mosasaurus. It just sounds so alien but at the same time so damn calm & mysterious - I just can't describe it but it's just so nice to listen to.
8:55 It's Monstro, He's back
Basilosaurus Cetoides needs an exorcism!
These videos absolutely need to be listened to with headphones to get the full experience.
Amazing job as usual.
6:37 gave me the chills.
The Leed felt like it vibrated my whole body through my ears. That sound was incredible!
